As mentioned in yesterday's release all the DLC and XBLA since the previous post was covered on <a href="http://gbatemp.net/t294332-dungeons-and-dragons-daggerdale-xbla-xbox360-xblaplus-and-dlc" target="_blank">this thread</a>.

This is the second of several fantasy action games to be released since the new year (Dungeon Siege III is due in a couple of weeks and <a href="http://gbatemp.net/t290857-the-first-templar-dirfix-xbox360-swag-the-first-templar" target="_blank">The First templar</a> hit about this time last month although there have also been XBLA releases (see above), Dragon age 2, several US releases of older games that had appeared in PAL regions and things like Warriors Legends of Troy and a new dynasty warriors game among others making the 360 a fairly viable contender in the RPG/fantasy game race).

Back on topic this game was made by InXile Entertainment (with Bethesda softworks are taking publishing duties for this one) who in recent years made a few ports (notably of the line rider game to DS, wii and apple stuff) but before that they made the rather interesting and well reviewed fantasy RPG parody The Bard's Tale (although not really related to the classic RPG series of the same name).
This appears to be more of a two (very different) character action game (the videos below sum it up pretty well). This is the companies first game to be released for the 360 but they did have another gamed called Heist/Hei$t for the system in development that was later cancelled.

I have watched this game for some time now and it had a fair bit of advertising happen for it as well so we might something nice. I will be playing this so hopefully a mini review in a day or two.

Amazon UK description
Powered by the Unreal 3 engine, Hunted: The Demon’s Forge is a fresh take on the classic fantasy game that delivers the intensity and action of a modern-day shooter. Taking control of either E’lara, a ranged weapon expert, or Caddoc, a master swordsman, you and your partner will descend into a dark and foreboding world for an unforgettable cooperative experience. As you travel deep within the world of Kala Moor, you will use a variety of deadly weapons, powerful spells, and cover tactics to face down wave after wave of vicious enemies. It will take the combined efforts of two great warriors to explore menacing dungeons, overgrown ruins, and downtrodden towns … and discover the secrets of the Demon’s Forge.

Features:

An Unreal Dark Fantasy: Powered by the Unreal 3 engine, the dark world of Hunted comes to life as a third-person fantasy game with the intensity and action of a modern-day shooter. Hunted boasts stunning visuals with breath-taking vistas and foreboding underground worlds.
Co-op at a Distance: Combine E’lara’s ranged attacks with Caddoc’s melee expertise to pull off gruesome co-op kill moves, perform special attacks, and heal one another from anywhere on the battlefield. The characters’ differing combat expertise allows a player’s strategy to vary from one play through to the next.
Descend into Dungeon Depths: Work with your co-op partner to discover hidden paths and solve the devious puzzles that block your way. Explore menacing dungeons, overgrown ruins, and terrorized towns to discover treasure and powerful upgrades.
Two Ways to Fight: Wade into the thick of the fight using deadly melee skills, or tactically use cover to dispatch hordes of creatures with bows and spells. Use powerful magic to boost your partner’s combat effectiveness and even the odds against increasingly formidable enemies.
Forge Your Own Levels: Create and share your own challenging dungeon designs with The Crucible, a powerful in-game editor that provides endless opportunities for exploration and battles for you and your friends.
